Some people say their food never tastes as good as mine, even when they follow my recipe to the letter. I say, “You’re not cooking it with love…”

Let's Talk Turkey--Turkey Lurkey

I'm a bzzagent. That means that I get to create buzz about new products. Bzzagent sends me information or a free sample and I tell them what I think and what my friends (that I bzz) think. Recently, I got invited to an Ontario Turkey campaign.

Now, I love turkey. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas and Easter turkey but really, other than the odd roasted turkey deli sandwich, we don't really use turkey the rest of the year. Maybe that's partially because we gorge ourselves so much on major holidays and also because we eat it for 3-4 days until we're ready for a 3 month break but it's also because I haven't really gotten adventurous in my cooking with turkey beyond my amazing tag team roasted turkey and stuffing recipe.

But beyond the famous roasted turkey with sage stuffing, I haven't done much dabbling. I'm now inspired! This Bzzagent Turkey Campaign has given me some great turkey recipes. Not only is turkey a great meat because it's high in protein and low in fat (with all that warm and fuzzy tryptophan, too!) but it's very versatile. I didn't really consider just how versatile until bzzagent send me a whack of cookbooks.
